Several milestones mark a book’s publication. Amazon.com is the dominant book retailer and today they officially started shipping my book, Leadership Step by Step.

Early reviews look promising: 27 5-star reviews and 1 4-star. Here’s a screenshot

The book has jumped to 472nd place in leadership, an auspicious beginning. Still, 471 places to go.

I recommend reading the reviews and buying copies for everyone you know ;).

Thank you!

Reaching this point took a lot of work from many people, too many to list.

But I have to thank my agent Melissa, who ushered me from drafts whose poor writing hid the ideas she saw and nurtured into a much more readable proposal, and the editor, Stephen, who signed me at Amacom who had faith enough to advance money on me.

And I have to thank all the early readers and practitioners of the book’s exercises who inspired me and compelled me to get the material out there for others to practice it.
